Description:
Iowan's Tarot was created by Iowan Stone-Flowers primarily out of a concern to have African American imagery incorporated into a tarot deck. Having lived for fifteen years in Brooklyn and now in Georgia, her imagery ties together urban and rural America. This full deck of 78 cards has the suits named as Staves, Gourds, Spears and Cowries, and the 22 majors though entirely renamed nevertheless remain recognisable as the familiar tarot arcana.
